Description
Former ±3,000 SF Wendy’s with existing drive-thru infrastructure located at 1380 Cedar Grove Road in unincorporated DeKalb County. The building was purpose-built for fast food operations and constructed with durable materials, offering a functional layout suitable for QSR, coffee, or service-oriented users. The level site includes established curb cuts, dedicated parking, utility connections, and an efficient drive-thru configuration, reducing redevelopment time and capital requirements for a new food concept.
The property sits within a heavy industrial corridor serving warehouse, logistics, contractor, and fleet-oriented users, creating strong daytime demand. Traffic counts include approximately 26,800 vehicles per day on Moreland Avenue and historically 12,000+ vehicles per day on Cedar Grove Road prior to the bridge closure. The Cedar Grove Road bridge replacement is underway, with reopening expected in 2026, which is anticipated to restore full traffic circulation through the corridor.
Zoned M (Light Industrial) within the Bouldercrest–Cedar Grove–Moreland Overlay District (Tier 2). Industrial zoning provides flexibility for QSR, coffee, automotive-related, service, or industrial-support uses (subject to overlay standards). Certain restrictions apply to some fast-food hamburger operators.
1380 Cedar Grove Road is located just off Moreland Avenue in unincorporated DeKalb County within a dense industrial corridor serving South DeKalb and the I-285 perimeter. The surrounding area is anchored by warehouse, logistics, contractor, and fleet-oriented users, creating consistent daytime demand from shift workers and service crews. The site benefits from strong visibility along Moreland Avenue (±26,800 VPD) and historically 12,000+ VPD on Cedar Grove Road prior to the bridge closure, with traffic expected to normalize following the bridge reopening.
The immediate trade area features concentrated employment with limited direct quick-service competition relative to workforce density. The freestanding building, existing drive-thru infrastructure, and level site position the property to efficiently capture drive-thru and carry-out traffic in an underserved industrial submarket.
